CSI Fan, was me about the Lock and Lock, either 2.9 L or 3.9 L rectangular Lock and Lock will do, most chemical steriliser tablets (like Boots, Pureen) use about 2 to 2.3 L of water, so if you think you will be putting in more bottles at one go, get the bigger one but if you want a small one for travel on the go, the 2.9 L fits nicely into my carryon luggage trolley bag. I can sterilise my avent manual breast pump and one storage bottle in the 2.9 L size. You can test at home, fill it with 2.3 L or 2 L of water (depending on your tablet's instructions) and use a waterproof marker to mark that level on the outside of the container so you wont be using too much or too little liquid each time.

I just booked the massage lady, Susi. Anyone used her before? Just wondering...
Like some of you, I'm getting confused between BH and contractions... but i guess when it's just too painful to tahan, I'll just head down to the clinic.
By the way, anyone having aching calves???

Ok looks like I shouldnt complain about my calves then, since some of u are having it worse.
Thanks for the confirmation on Susi's service Etelle. I was a lil worried coz everyone was talking about Rokiah and she din have any available slots for me.
Another week or so, we'll see more ppl popping! Cant wait for my next check-up!

I have snesitive nose and hubby got asthma when young, heard from skin specialist saying that that increased the possibility of eczema. My #1 got eczema...
So if any mummies here got cases like ours, try not to bath yr newborn for too long, use non-bubbles bath shampoo and tap dry not wipe dry. After that, apply non-fragance cream to moisterize the skin. My son's eczema happens during his 8th mth old, my SIL's less than 2nd mth old. Some eczema triggers by cow's milk also. Eczema is a problematic skin problem... Singapore's weather made it worse.
Next time this thread is going to change to parenting... kekeke

I'm semi waiting for my turn - 1/2 wanna see baby, 1/2 dunno whether can cope. *sigh*

Whoa...only 2 days I did not log in there's so many stuff posted here. Me having pain at my lower tummy where the tummy meets the legs. So hard to wear my pants...sigh.
I did experience swollen feet last few weeks but now went down. My mum and MIL said its due to water retention so must drink more water, wear socks to bed and prop up the legs whenever u can.

missylan,
I also have sensitive nose and childhood asthma. hehs. quite cham horh. hahaha. My siblings have sensitive nose and eczema. All 3 are hereditery esp asthma and eczema (and made worse by SG's weather...). And last time when we were younger, the doc did tell us before...asthma and eczema is like either or kinda thing. I got asthma but no eczema. Siblings have eczema but no asthma....that kind of thing. heehee...
but you are right, must use non-fragrance moisturiser and bath gel.

lynzi,
i know how it feels, feels like your whole leg socket is coming off and the groin stings/aches like mad. when wearing pants, sit down on bed to wear. don't balance on one feet, would make it worse. try not to walk on stairs too much oso.
coco et al
your backpain could it be because of your posture when walking, standing? try not to arch your back too much. try to keep your spine straight.. there was one time my neck ache coz i think it's because of my kinda arch my back too much and didn't 'tuck' my chin the way i should have...
dodo,
me 42" liao.. dunno if it's got to do with bb shifting down bo???

Linda / Etelle,
I was telling hubby about these stories and we actually discussed wat to do if halfway on the way to hospital I need to deliver in the car! He said the correct thing to do is stop by the road and park the car, and call ambulance. Can't believe we're even discussing the possiblity! Haha.. hope it wont happen. Wish I dont live so far from hospital.

actualy one of my hb friend after the wife water bag burst she gave birth in 2 hour le...so i think it really depends lor..but its good to have back up plan and like talk about the possibilities mah u never know right...for me house to Mt A about 20 mins le...should be able to la as long as once witness the symtoms then rush to hospital no deay.
I read from babycentre first child normally average 14 hours and 2nd child average 8 hours...

etelle, i think for us 2nd bb, better go hospital once we know it's contractions, water bag leak, etc, juz to be sure mah, if wrong then come back home lor! hahaha... tat's wat i tot lah... but my house to KKH also takes like 30-40mins during daytime, my #1 bb, we went hospital @ 3.30am, so no cars, very fast! abt 20mins reach liao! hahahaha.. but now i think it's better for me to go KKH from my office, cos only like 5mins reach liao! hahaha... so i'll need to pack my shampoo & towel in office, so can shower b4 i go to KKH! then hb will go home & bring my hospital bag over! since he work near home!
linda, u dun worry, 1st baby not so fast one, they say need abt 10hrs to have 10cm dilation, average 1hr 1cm!!
but does anyone know the # to call for KKH ambulance ah?? i check everywhere also can't find leh... juz in case lah... hahaha... when i ask my hb if he knows, he told me faster to go by cab! hahaha... of cos i know, but the thing is if can't find cab how??
dodo, i think my waist abt the same as u, i measure abt 2-3weeks back was 43", but i can see my tummy grows... yesterday my colleg was saying, wow, yr tummy so big, like having twins! haiz... i also wished!! it's so heavy now, very hard to walk & worst when i can't get seat on trains... so cham...
miorei, true, BF will help in reducing the weight, but if u have massage done during confinement i would say the effect is like double! of cos u'll lose weight when u BF, but the tummy will still be saggy lor... i remember for my #1, during my bb's full mth party, alot of pple comment tat my massage lady very good, my weight was only 1-2kg more then my pregnancy weight, so it's very effective if u do it during confinement, so they can push all yr internal organs back! hahaha... even my mum see the diff after my 1st massage, cos the wrap was so tight & effective, she say all my sagginess like gone! but painful lah... not trying to stress u here, but it's really more effective to do during yr confinement lor...

Hi all,
These 2 days i found that i have difficulty walking cos i feel that the area below my tummy is so painful whenever i stand up. Walking slowly juz like a penguin.
At nite, cant even have a good & proper sleep too. Is it becos bb head pressing on it? I now coming to 35wks already feel so painful wonder how to tahan till my bb out.
Anyone facing the same problem as me? Will we have any feeling of bb engaging?

agnes,
I think Watsons, Guardian, NTUC shd have...heehee..but for Latacyd, I remember seeing 2 different types (diff PH levels). Once is white box with pink and blue stripes. The other is white box with blue stripes. I've seen the blue stripes one at KKH's pharmacy...so I guess that's more suitable for kids...

Is crossing of legs even supposed to be a gauge? This is the 1st I've heard.
